About Short Form: 40 Years of Music Videos, Ads, and the Art of Moving Images

Short Form: 40 Years of Music Videos, Ads and the Art of Moving Images is a dynamic new publication that reframes how we see short-form cinema. Tracing forty years of groundbreaking work in music videos and advertising, it highlights the artistry and influence of one of the UK’s most innovative production companies. Told through a rich combination of behind-the-scenes images, storyboards, stills, ephemera, script notes, and more, this book dives into those cult short-form films that have informed and galvanised the cultural landscape of cinema and beyond: films like Jamiroquai’s ‘Virtual Insanity’, Lauryn Hill’s ’Doo Wop (That Thing)’, Radiohead’s ‘Karma Police’, The Verve’s ‘Bittersweet Symphony’, FKA Twigs’ ‘M3LL155X’, and televised commercials for the likes of Guinness, Channel 4, and Levi’s.
